"Thousands of Foreign Workers Left Stranded in Cambodia Amid Crackdown on Scam Centers Cambodia's bid to shut down notorious scam centers has had an unexpected consequence: a growing number of foreign workers, many of whom were employed by these illicit operations, are now left without a job or a way to return home. As authorities crackdown on the scam centers, thousands of workers from countries such as Vietnam, China, and Indonesia are finding themselves stranded in Phnom Penh, with some reports suggesting they are struggling to access basic necessities like food and shelter. The situation has raised concerns about the welfare of these migrant workers, who were often lured to Cambodia with false promises of employment and better living conditions. As the Cambodian government continues to tackle the issue of scams, it must also address the humanitarian crisis unfolding on its streets."
Cambodia's crackdown on scam centers has created a secondary crisis: thousands of stranded foreign workers are now roaming the streets of Phnom Penh.
